Going South! Ron Brown - MMF board member and well-known and respected in the music industry as a successful music publisher, filmmaker and promoter - has taken the concept to Melbourne. Find out more about our Southern community at the PopTarts Melbourne Myspace page. Tarting Where? Its new home is at The Unity Hall Hotel, 292 Darling Street Balmain (opposite Woollies) in the inner west of Sydney . PopTarts has had more than six very successful years under its belt, but it doesn't end there...PopTarts has already started to take on the uni circuit, it's put together charity nights like the 'Tarts for Timor' series, we've had groups of PopTarts performing up and down the East Coast, with 'Tarts on Tour' and it has no plans to slow down! Check out the calendar for PopTarts regular showcases and One Night Stands and stay in the loop... Who's Tarting? There are four to five different acts on each night, one or two usually in acoustic mode, the others as full bands, starting at 7:30pm. The nights are designed for artists to present the 'best' of their work, within a thirty minute time frame. We decided not to have a door charge so that the artists could get the biggest possible walk-in crowd and get the opportunity to build up their fan base. you'll usually see PopTarts host Amanda Easton performing and hosting on the first Monday of each month. So far we've had other artists and bands including: Robyn Loau, moneypenny, Morgana (ex-Nitocris) & the Monstars, Fyreflies, Ezmerelda, Yolanda Thomas, Amber Rees, Maz, Evelyn Duprai, Sarah Humphries, Jo Elms, Miss Little, Living with Amy, MEATBEE, Me-Lee's Mosaic, Silvana, butterfly 9, gilli moon, Sarah McGregor, Sandy Klose, Akradia and many more through the Tarts' doors..

 So what's
this we heard about boys being part of PopTarts?! After PopTarts had been going
for a while, the boys started to catch on and wanted to be a part of it! Because
there were so many fabulous male pop performers in town, and the PopTarts
concept was about forming a community - not leaving anybody out, we decided to
create a night especially for the boys. The name may be tongue-in-cheek
but the artists and bands you'll see perform at this night, take their pop music
very seriously. We've had some fabulous performers at this event, with acts
including Nick Hardcastle, Lindsay Rimes, Russell Crawford, Michael Carpenter,
Matt Cornell, Simon Morel, Kieran Glasgow, Arnott, Darryl Beaton, Kitch,
Jonah's Road, Kieran Lancini, Phil Barton and many more.
Contact Simon Morel
